Chapter 8, Problem 46A

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation :

The balanced net ionic equation must be written for the given unbalanced molecular equation.

Concept Introduction :

A net ionic equation is the representation of a reaction in which ions common to reactant and product side (spectator ions) are cancelled.

Answer to Problem 46A

Net ionic equation is given below:

  ${\text{Ag}}^{\text{+}}{\text{(aq)+Cl}}^{\text{-}}\text{(aq)}\to \text{AgCl(s)}\text{.}$

Explanation of Solution

In the reaction of HCl and AgNO₃ a precipitate of AgCl is produced. There are spectator ions H+ and NO₃- which are cancelled from both side of the equation.
